Meanwhile, surging Romanian Simona Halep was cooled off Thursday by veteran
Flavia Pennetta, as the Italian was leading the second-seeded Romanian 4-6,
7-5, 2-0 when Halep retired with an undisclosed injury.

The 21-year-old Halep was fresh off winning her third title in four events and
had won 17 of her previous 18 matches.
